RoboCup allows teams to use an omni cam for some of its levels. Those robots are super nimble and fast as well. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Bch...ocW BtQthSwqx for an example.

The level of swarm play in robocup is very inspiring. Yes it would be cool to incorporate it into FRC, but it is quite difficult, much harder than you make it sound. And the availability of data for the programmers to practice on remains my biggest issue.

I believe the robocup teams are required to mount their own camera. Perhaps your team could incorporate it similarly.

Yay Kalman Filters! The roboRio can handle that for multiple objects....right? Lol
